According to SEN it's four ribs, lacerated spleen and a hole in the lung. That's a long stay on the sidelines.

    Sorry, saw this is covered elsewhere. Mods feel free to junk it. (Pretty much how I'm feeling about the year.)

    We've got the bye which will help, but the spleen and lung will likely heal in that time, and the ribs are going to be painful, but not impossible to play with.
    He might miss the Nth game, but equally wouldn't be surprised to see him named either.

    To think he went back on the field too. What a champion.

    Take a look at the incident carefully and I don't think there is much doubt that Moore deliberately put his knee "hard" into tracs back.

    He certainly flexed his knee forward unnecessarily as he jumped from behind, no duty of care at all. It’s a wonder it doesn’t happen more often.

    Are you a doctor?  3-12 week recovery according to this site.

    Also life threatening.  He should not have been sent back on if the doctor saw the incident on TV as it was right into the spleen/kidney area.

    We had 2 years when Burgo was at the club where this stuff didn’t happen (injured players being sent back on).  But it was a regular occurrence pre 2020 and post 2021.

    give him the rest of the season off. We're F'd anyway. Should not have been allowed back on the ground.

    Another “football act” by The Filth. Putting a player in hospital.

    Get well. Soon Tracc.

    Nope, but you don't appear to be either with your internet diagnosis. 

    A lacerated spleen <> ruptured spleen! So, before you go all dougie howser on my comment, he's in hospital, they will make the call with our medical staff and bring him back when he's ready. I'm not saying he will play, and I still won't be surprised if he does, but tell me where I said we should risk him or his health?

    Also I call bollocks on your last comment. Burgo would have NOTHING to do with assessing player injuries in a game. He was high performance manager, and fitness, not the doctor! so pull your head in before attacking other people!

    EDIT: I also didn't make any reference to whether he should have played on, he obviously shouldn't have.

    I believe this happened in central Victoria last year in a juniors comp. The kid received a hard tackle, went off, went back on and collapsed, went unresponsive and died. This could of been a lot worse. Hope Trac gets and feels better soon 🙏

    Every decent defender should be making their opponent feel it in a marking contest, it's exactly the same thing Maysie does whenever he gets the chance, and rightly so. It's just really unfortunate that Moore's knee caught Trac in the worst possible spot.

    How the hell did he get back on the field.  Crazy. 

    Could be out for the remainder of the H&A?

    Lets hope there's no complications.

    All the best son ✌🏼

    I feel for Trac, the lacerated spleen is a concern and more like a car crash injury and he would have been in some serious pain and I cannot believe he actually went back out to play. I would be surprised if it wasn't season-ending.

    And before you jump on me, I have years of experience working in a trauma setting. Without knowing the medical notes all I can say is the spleen is tricky and a serious injury. It contains lots of blood and its healing time varies and it is slow to repair. 

    From a reputable medical journal "Avoid strenuous activities that could re-injure your spleen. These include lifting, jogging, aerobic exercise, and contact sports. Get plenty of rest for 2-3 months."

    Let him rest and fully recover and time to blood some kids.

    Are you a doctor? If not, you’re not qualified to make this comment. Players go back on with rib pain regularly from my experience. 

    And Burgo isn’t and wasn’t a doctor.

    Regardless of all that, hopefully Trac is OK and recovers well. In the meantime, for any game he misses, we get a good opportunity to try someone new, but we’re also [censored].

    So long as it's a "football act" hey...maybe we need a "football act" coach like those scumbags seem to have.

    Thats the season done. Rest up and recover Trac.  Your health is the priority. Time to perfect more recipes apart from just meatballs.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
